[MOC] Green Army Copter

[Dread Pirate Wesley]

Everyone knows its faster to get around by air than by jeep!

Here's a sneak peak of my Green Army helicopter, not sure if this belongs in licensed or other. Uses most of the parts from 7595, even one of the jeep wheels!

Special thanks to SpaceMonkey for the inspiration. This is still fairly preliminary so comments and suggestions are appreciated!

That is really fantastic. I love it

I like it ! - (Grandpa Max - Ben10)

AWESOME design and suits those green men to a tee.

Excellent designing and I'm a conformist! 'Dread Pirate Wesley' I'm a conformist! !

Looks good! Reminds me of a Nam' era chopper. Keep up the good work!

[Spyder]

Great job, it looks really realistic, in a green, army man, plastic way. As mentioned, do you have any other pictures of it? I would love to see more.

[Dread Pirate Wesley]

Thanks! C&C please, still a work in progress, more pics added to the original post...

Awesome copter! The balance of green and black is perfect

[Big Cam]

Excellent design, I love it, it totally reminds me of Choppers from the Vietnam war, I like that you have a matching green helmet as well.

Awesome!

okay that settles it, I'm stalking up on those green army men battlepacks. Thanks a lot, now I'm going to be out $50 . Your creation is stunning, any chance of seeing another army men creation coming up?

[BrickMonkeyMOCs]

Wow, that looks really great! And thanks for the credit. I like how you've used click hinges for the landing skids (it's a clever way of attaching the passenger troops), and the use of a dish for the tail rotor is very nice too. If I were to offer any suggestions it would be that the main rotor blades look a little short while the front of the landing skids look a bit long. For the latter you might want to change the front black antennas for black lightsaber bars.

Cute, but oddly threatening. Very nice.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Yes I think there is a lot of potential here, Ive seen a lot of tanks so far so maybe a halftrack, or artillery or something that usually comes with a bag of green army men!

SpaceMonkey, I swapped out the skids for lightsaber blades and it does make it look a little more natural, unfortunately all I have is brown right now so Ill have to order some black ones then take a pic. I wish they made 1x10 plates in black I think they would complete the look but to keep the plasticy green army men feel I had to use 1x8. Maybe someday though

You've inspired me, I've just built a really cool army man tank, all green, but sadly I don't have any army men yet, I'll wait until I get some before posting.

Nice. Looks like a Hughes OH-6 helicopter.
